Coffee Break - The Paper Shelter - TPSDT


Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and getting sorted for Christmas.  This weeks challenge at The Paper Shelter is 'Shopping Spree'.  Unfortunately there are only a couple of images that fit the challenge so thinking out of the box I have an online shopper. (Have to admit I do that a lot, save all the hassle of crowds and freezing).
For today's challenge I have used the image 'Coffee Break' and made my own sentiment to fit the challenge.


A really simple design but I think it shows off the image well. She is cut with SB Lattice Rectangles and mounted on coordinations card. The ribbon and corners are from my stash.


She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers with a little Prisma pencil for added details. I also added distress ink to the background.


The backing papers are from Dovecraft and I added glossy accents to her glasses and to the laptop.


The prize this week, as always is a $30 voucher if you use a paper shelter image, or 3 digis of your choice for any other image.  



The other DT girls have made some fabulous cards for your inspiration, I hope you will pop over and see them.

Thanks for looking

The flowers are WOC and the ribbon, lace, charm and leaves are from my stash.The sentiment is LOTV.


They are of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers,Triamarkers and a little Prisma pencil with distress ink added to the background.

Rosie and Snowman - Digital Stamp Boutique - PFP DT

Good morning everyone. Back today with a card for the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers.  Today's challenge has been chosen by Lisa 'Check it out' (use checks, gingham, plaid) and we are being sponsored by Sally-Anne at Digital Stamp Boutique.

I chose to use an image from the Winter Rosie set, Rosie and Snowman. I love her cute expression.


She is cut using SB floral ovals. The backing paper is from LOTV and ribbon from my stash. I also added some silver mirror board and snowflake acetate.


She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers.  I added glossy accents to her buttons and the snowman's nose.  The snowflakes are white Cosmic Shimmer PVA covered in Glamour dust. The snowman is covered with Flowersoft. I also added a little distress ink to the background.


This shows the inside where I used a magazine freebie from Kaizercraft.


This one shows the acetate a little better, and the peal off sentiment.


I hope you will take the time to look at the fabulous cards the other girls have made, and also enter the challenge where you could win  a £10 voucher to spend in store from the very generous Sally-Anne

Don't forget you have to use Letraset products (promarkers, flexmarkers, trimarkers, aquamarkers or neonmarkers) to be eligible to enter.

Vintage Phone - The Paper Shelter - TPS DT

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well.  Today sees the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter where our theme this week is 'For Someone Special'.  This is actually a commissioned card for a friend at work who wanted a 'Special' card for her sister's 50th Birthday.  I have used the amazing image 'Vintage Phone' which is available here.
Hopefully my pictures look back to normal now as I  bought a new camera last week and no longer have to rely on ones taken with my 'note' (dropped my old one :( )


She is cut with SB romantic rectangles with a little out of the box cutting, and a faux nestie behind her.  The flourish is from MB. Organza roses from The Ribbon Girl. Pearl strip and pearls from Hobby House. Flowers are a mixture of WOC and K&G.  The dp is from a pad I bought ages ago and I've lost the front.


She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and a little Prisma Pencil.


The sentiment is Computer generated, and the inside reflects the front.


As always Veronica and Pedro are offering the winner of the challenge a voucher for $30 worth of products if you use a TPS image and 3 digi's of your choice for any other image.


The other TPS ladies have made some fabulous cards for your inspiration this week. I hope you will take the time to enter, who knows you could be the winner.
